[edit] Marriage to John Boyd Dunlop?
Did she marry John Boyd Dunlop, the tyre inventor, as stated at the Daisy Bell article? Anyone got a source for that?
I ask because it seems rather odd that it is not mentioned in this article, as he too is a prominent figure. --Mais oui! 10:34, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
- She also seems to be the mother of the heir of the Earl of Warwick, in 1882. Her husband died three years after Dunlop, in 1924. No solid citation for this remarriage anywhere, so I'm calling it a hoax, probably based on a subtle pun that she inspired the song "Daisy Bell/Bicycle Built For Two", and Dunlop invented the bicycle (tricycle) tire. -- Yamara 02:23, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
